Field Trips

We know that some very valuable, real-life learning takes place outside school walls, and our staff seeks out exciting and educational field trips to enrich the classroom experience. All Envision Academy students take at least one field trip to a college campus each year, where they learn about college life, academic programs and the admissions process. Individual classes or grade levels will also take trips to a variety of places. Permission slips, signed by a parent or guardian, are required for every student attending a field trip. Specific information and permission slips will be sent home 1-2 weeks before any field trip. Parent chaperones are always needed – please talk to your student’s advisor if you would like to chaperon an upcoming trip.

Community Meetings

One way we create and engage a tight-knit community at Envision Academy is to make sure all students and staff come together at weekly Community Meetings. This time is used to cover important announcements, school business and upcoming events. Community meetings also include spirit competitions, film screenings and guest speakers. They are important bonding times for our community and legendary for producing some of the most memorable moments in Envision Academy history!

Student Clubs

Clubs at EA are almost entirely student led, giving students a chance to exercise leadership skills around something they are passionate about.  Students can petition at any time to form a new club, and only need a faculty sponsor who agrees to oversee the club.  We strongly encourage students to create new clubs to explore their interests.  Current EA Clubs include: Yearbook, Step Team, Rock Climbing, Theater Team, Cheerleading, and Chess Club.

Associated Student Body (ASB)

Looking to exercise your leadership skills? The ASB is the best way for students to get active and have a voice in how the school is run.  The ASB is made up of student leaders that drive school culture by organizing activities, dances, spirit weeks, community meetings and student justice panels.  ASB members also host campus visitors and make outreach presentations at middle schools.  Elections are held in September, and positions last the entire school year.

Summer Search

Summer Search is a non-profit organization that finds resilient low-income high school students and inspires them to become responsible and altruistic leaders by providing year-round mentoring, life-changing summer experiences, college advising, and a lasting support network.  Each year, they reserve a handful of spots specifically for EA students, and MANY of our students have had life changing experiences because of their participation in Summer Search.  For more information, go to http://www.summersearch.org/
